Allocated parking problem - advice please

[Dr1ver2345]

Hi All, apologies for the post length. I purchased a house late last year. The house is an end terrace. The houses are arranged in 3 rows of 4 forming a square and have access to 1 large car park and 1 small car park. My house is next to the large car park, which my garden runs the length of. In this car park there are 9 spaces running along the side of my fence. Opposite the spaces are 7 garages. My garage is at the end of the car spaces standalone with access from my garden and a large area infront of the garage to make it usable. On my title plan the red line of my property extends to this space infront of my garage and also the parking space immediately beside the garage. I have always taken this that all of the area in red is my property and people shouldn't really park there. I recently asked a neighbour to move their car from infront of my garage as I was expecting a visitor and he became aggresive and moved the car. Today I received a letter from this neighbour with an attached letter from the original developers dated 1990 that despite each house having land in the car parked conveyed with our houses the parking is actually communal and anyone can park anywhere at any time. He has now since left a car infront of my garage for a month. I can still open it if I park in a different space. I have checked my title register for any parking covenants to confirm this and cannot see anything, although admittedly I am not certain what I am looking for. All I can see is that parking will be provided for road safety. I have spoken to my solicitor and they have said they can check for 2 - 3 hours at 140 and hour! I was wondering if anyone had any advice or if I really must pay the fee to get this checked properly ?
Why cant people respect have any common sense with regards to other peoples property. The neighbour in question has now put his house up for sale, in the advert it states garage and parking. Any advice on what to do?

Trouble is if the neighbour selling gives the new buyer the impression they can park in OP's space the issues will continue.

ish - at this point (with a new owner in place), the only thing that really matters is the deeds - not what the previous owner may have said in passing

From the attached pic, it does appear as though the space infront of the garage does belong to you - are there any words in the deeds providing rights of way etc in this area that may complicate it.

also - what is the larger square at the top edge of your space - is this another garage or another garden?

I deserve the correction on my use of paragraphs :-)

I cannot see anything in the deeds that state a right of way or anything else with regards to the land.

The large square at the top edge is another garage, however owned by a neighbour round the corner and no access from within the shared car park.

Guys, just to add, in the letter he sent, he attached his plan. One space was outlined in red. He now seems to think its ok to park 3 or 4 cars in the car park
